Special Ops Emergency Ammo Resupply | Tactical Rifleman

- I was out at the rifle range, working with some Air Force Medical people, and they had brought about a dozen crates of good military 5.56mm ammo. Each crate has two ammo cans. Each ammo can, when opened, provides you with a number of cloth bandoliers. Each bandolier has 4 cardboard sleeves, a speed loader, and a black safety pin. Each cardboard sleeve contains 30rds of ammo on three 10rd stripper clips (for use with the speed loader). That makes for a lot of trash when you’re doing 4 hours of Failure and Box Drills out on the hot range.
What prompted me to do this video was when some of the Air Force guys were saying that they had no idea what the bandoliers or the safety pin was for. It was all just trash to them. I started having flashbacks to my time in different military schools and times when seasoned soldiers took the time to explain it to Private Erickson. So, let’s share a little military history, or at least, this is how it was explained to me. You’ll know why I grab the bandoliers and safety pins at the range now, when no one else will; and you’ll never look at those ammo bandoliers the same again.
Thanks for watching, TR.

"Safety pin a guy's tongue to his lip"....
Holy crap, talk about hardcore!
Body piercing and modifications by "DOC".
Yeah, sounds like an april Fool's prank...
Anton Adelson damn
Most of the time they are unconscious for the hookup. But you got to be alive to bitch about it if you are going too personally I rather live than choke out on my tongue.
You cant swallow your tongue but it can occlude the airway that is what an OPA is for but you cant use an OPA when they are conscious so the safty pin is the least of your worries when in that situation.
I can just imagine waking up from a nap with my tongue safety pinned to my lip and Karl telling me it was because I was snoring to loud.
LMAO you are a hell of a heavy sleeper if you can nap through a safety pin through the tongue and lip haha
Your snoring will give away our position!
Some members of Macvsog recon teams were fired from the team for snoring too loud.
I was lucky as a young Marine, I had a Master Gunnery Sergeant that taught me so much about why things were done/made the way they were. Combat effectiveness, light and simple. Those safety pins have many uses!
Every time I try to pull the white string my wife slaps me.
Slap dat bootie in return.
can you fit a magazine in there afterwards?
Went over my head. Is this a tampon joke?
Hahahahaha
Evil Opti Z ahaha you have won the Internet for today
4 years Army (late 70's) and I had to come to TH-cam to learn this, Thanks Karl
We were in a gun fight on the mountains near Durand line in Afghanistan and we were almost out of ammo and the Air Force dropped as a crate but it was half a mile away lol thanks Air Force!
Better than no ammo at least
Run Forrest! Run
Could be worse, atleast it was ammo. They didn't mistakenly drop a crate of their dildos.
@@danclapper626 😂😂😂
FOX3114 na, there marked for the marines yearly ball.
I remember back in ‘05 when I just picked up CPL. One of the SSG’s showed me what is in this video and I had that stunned, the more you know, holy S**t look. We did exactly what you did in this video and kept about 4-6 full ammo cans on each vehicle. The military does sometimes think hard about practicalities.
Don't feel guilty about having extra mags, the taxpayers will be fine lol
The reason for using the ammo only is because it is lighter for the soldiers to carry especially with special forces they have very Long missions and have very heavy loads
@@thiskeithlee wtf the spécification of special forces are to have really short mission and fight really light to done their mission in the fastest way possible . It’s only rangers and unit like marines etc more classic who have long mission and heavy equipment
@@yolfio3873 you do realise that this depends right you may never know when missions will be extended and your mission as a special operations guy is the infiltrate enemy lines meaning you are almost and practically cut off from any resupply or friendly support and also you may not be dropped very near a mission objective and have to work a few days before reaching and may meet enemy resistance right and what if you meet a land field you will have to make a detour which will cause time right and you may never know when you will need these extra ammunition
Rather buy them buy mags with my money then send it over seas for "gender studies"...
Yea f@$$ those guys!
It’s funny that the Army actually had to make bandoliers for the FLC because no one on the non special side of the Army knows what they’re for. I was always told they were useless, or that they were for 20 rd mags and didn’t realize any different until I watched a Marine talk about them.
Daniel Frakes well blame your DS because you had a bad one. I learned this stuff in basic training.
Well me and every other infantryman I knew must have had one then. I’ve never seen anyone use these bandoliers. I’ve seen people try to use the SAW drum bandoliers but they last a total of 5 mins before the strap breaks off.
I guess I was on the special side of the Army, since I knew it it was for. I guess it helps growing up an Army brat before you enlist.
Daniel Frakes I never said anyone used them. I said I was taught what they were for in basic. That being said yes the DS even said that almost no one ever uses them. At the range we would throw them in a pile so the range officer could pick them up, the same with the zip strips.
thomas abel I would have atleast tried it had I known what they were for. In Iraq we had “push” boxes that were loaded with mags that we’d kick off the back of Hmmvws if we needed more ammo. This would have been a better solution for that case just because a guy could grab five or six of these and replenish his fireteam. For the most part we were all running anywhere from 10-13 mags and had assault packs with more if the mission went tits up. I personally carried 14 mags. 12 in my gear and 2 in a thigh rig. 2004 don’t judge me lol.
My cousin was a special forces medic. One of the first Green Berets, back around '63-'64...He was a hard boiled dude. He passed away earlier this year. He was a good man and a patriot. Good video. Thanks
I am sorry for your loss. They were a tough bunch back then. Thanks for watching, TR
Karl, I know this is old, but I loved you talking about the safety pin. Long time ago, I was on a range that caugh fire. They sent us out with shovels and the flappers, and long story short one of the guys went into anaphylactic shock (severe reaction to something that was on fire) and some Voodoo medic pinned his tongue to his lip so he wouldn’t swallow it. I’ve had a large safety pin with me ever since. People think I’m insane when I tell them why…
Figured out quick as an infantryman. My Drill Sergeants never taught us about bandoliers. I learned it when on the range on how to load with the spoon and stripper clip. I learned on my own about the safety pin or "Diaper Pins" on the bandoliers. It's to shorten the bandolier which is your built in emergency ammo pouch for your mags to fit you in combat for your comfort after you have reloaded you magazines that you managed to save. Back in the 1980s we tied a sand bag behind our canteens with two 550 cords as an empty magazine pouch courtesy of the former Ranger Battalion NCOs before the Panama Invasion. The old 11 Bravo SQT manual said we should stuff our empty mags into our pant cargo pockets or pant cargo pockets or inside our BDU shirts if we weren't wearing back then the PASGT Body Armor. If we were, we were to stuff them on the two side pockets. Make sense with the combat bandoliers for that emergency.
Pull the white string?! Mind BLOWN!
Yeah, freaked me the first time I was shown
Women are like satchel charges. If you pull it, she will EXPLODE!
The first time I tried it, she slapped me. Make sure you have consent.
@@The10thManRules but then you dont get slapped.
No doubt! Gotta give Karl credit.
@@TacticalRifleman
I know what I'm doing the next time that I'm on the range again. Lol
All my time in the regular Army they did not tell me this!!!! Of course someone else was in charge of loading our mags on ranges but damn! All these years I was not tracking! I'm gonna teach my guys this next chance I get! Thanks for the outstanding tip!
Thanks for watching, TR
Thank you. There many ordnance and armory guys that have no idea about this stuff. I reload all my own ammo. I load all .223 and 300 Blackout onto stripper clips and load magazines with speed loaders/magazine chargers. People ask me where I find 300B on clips, "In my man cave", is my usual reply.
Wooden 25mm ammo crates make great foot lockers or batchelor pad coffee tables and foot rests. Nothing is trash.
RETiredGM bro you are totally right I’m an ammo dude and had no clue you could turn those bandoleers into a emergency mag pouch.this was a great video, what’s crazy is a lot of people still think green tip represents ball or “training” ammo
@@darrienharper3593 Green tip means GO! Red means stop. Black means your financial fine. Yellow means caution. Right? No color tip means it won't hurt you if it hits you.
It never occurred to me to put .300blk on old stripper clips... Thanks man! Cheers!
@@darrienharper3593 Green tips really are for practice when you don't want to blow through your stash of 262s!
BLWN GT 1 this is true my friend, very true especially if you get it “off the books” 😂😂😂
I keep a bunch of emergency resupply ammo cans set up similarly to what is being discussed here. Take an empty .30 cal or .50 cal can, put a StripLULA loader, trash bag, 3 pistol magazines, 3-4 rifle magazines, 2-4 boxes of 9mm ammo, some extra lube/cleaning supplies, and fill the rest with bandoliers of 5.56 ammo on clips, loose/boxed, or in mags if that’s your thing. Can also add some non-perishable foodstuffs or medical supplies. Seal it up with tape, date it, and leave it. When you need it, you have a can of whoopass on tap. The ammo can form factor means you can stack them easily for transport. The trash bag is so you can put a can or two in it, maybe even throw in a spare weapon, tie it off, and drop it in a hole or water somewhere as a ready-made cache.
Thanks for sharing. TR
Some people seem to have a lot of trouble using the provided loader, can't figure it out for some reason. My old Gunny showed us that if you still have the ammo box, a table, any kind of an edged surface, push the last round in on the edge insead. Saves your thumb too.
I learned to use another mag to push the rounds in.
The safety pin is so you can adjust the strap to a length you can use without it flopping around on you.
But as I have a speed loader myself now, I still keep one on my keychain next to my John Wayne can opener.
Never know when.
I always thought Norm Macdonald would have a different hobby, like collecting coins, or beer bottles
Lol I hope I'm wrong but this guy is screaming stollen valor. 🤷♂️
The light was on at the recruitment office
Dont safety pin my tongue and lip, plz just let me die.

YO JOE!
Roger. That shit is gold. If it looks stupid but works, it's not stupid. It holds mags/ammo.
Thanks for watching, TR
Its all about storage....in this configuration the ammo can be kept long term(yrs), the operator can then convert the back up ammo into loaded mags in their down time....ready to be dropped if needed and then rotated into their load out if not needed. cool vid brother!
small tip when using the stripper clips and the mag loader, invert the magazine so you are pushing on its bottom downward, and place the last round on the table and its much easier to load quickly and saves the fingers alot of wear and tear
I'm really glad this is your video today! I was just watching Brent0331's video on his most recent experience at One Shepard, and a year ago he shared a video on the importance of knowing how to utilize this bandoleer set up. I was re reminded of the importance of expedience in emergency ammo resuply this last week and weekend taking Fighting Pistol and fighting Rifle with Tactical Response through a correspondence course through Spartan Concepts here in OR. I chose to pre stage stripper clips and James was kind enough to loan me his MagLula (Among other things he loaned me) which made topping off those mags way faster and easier, and I'm willing to bet that means the world if you have to do it some where that lead and steel are flying through the air. Thanks again for the awesome video, I hope you guys have a great weekend.

Have you seen the prices for that course, super adorable my dude. I have mad gear and really want to go.
We were issued ammo in bandoliers back in Vietnam in the 60’s. Those bandoliers did not have that additional cloth tho. We were also issued 20 rd mags made by colt, and I still have a half dozen that I use today. I mention that because those 20 rd mags back than were intended to be disposable - one time use. However we reloaded our mags. Back than basic combat load was 240 rds for riflemen. However we were all auto rifleman and carried 700 to 800 rds on a deep cover. Some units like ours (75th) got resupplied with loaded 20rd mags in wood ammo crates. Stripper clips and speed loaders were pain in the butt in jungle environment. Fresh ammo on stripper clips not so bad, but stored ammo or exposed to humidity they were heck to strip off. Better off hand loading.
The newer bandoleers with the extra space are an improvement from the older bandoleers. The old ones had six pockets with two boxes of 10-round stripper clips, holding 120 rounds of 5.56x45 NATO. Todays bandoleers have four pockets of three 10-round stripper clips. Holding 120 rounds, plus the extra material to hold four loaded magazines. That looks like a good idea.
The old one work for 20 round mags.
Those are the ones I remember, too. Ammo party duty sucked with those loaders.

Used to carry a pair of .50 cal boxes in the gun truck filled with loaded 30 round magazines. Loaded to 25 rounds each to be easy on the springs. Always use some foam, placed in the bottom of the box and over the top of the magazines, and place the mags. lips up so they don't get damaged by the bumps in the road. That and several boxes of belted 7.62 for the 240B.

Amen. All our ICTF gun trucks were loaded similarly with ammo cans packed into every corner of the trucks. Thanks for mentioning the "Lips Ups," as people would forget that part. Thanks for watching, TR
Simple old school tricks that are very overlooked nowadays unfortunately
I'm surprised he didn't do the stripper clip table trick. Instead of pushing rounds down with your fingers, turn the mag upsidedown on the edge of a table and push the mag down on the rounds. Hell of a lot easier and faster.
We used to throw a dozen or so mags, a 240 belt or 2, batteries, and some 203s in a aviator kit bag and keep em in the back of every truck to grab if we needed to plus up before/during/after dismounting. Same concept. Good shit bro.

you can spend my tax dollars on extra mags, I 110% approve.
Right he always says that it's not a waste if it helps them stay in the fight.
When we (3ACR) depoyed in '03, we didn't get our full loadout of gear before we went out the door. We got our Interceptor vests literally the week before we got on the plane, and no MOLLE pouches for them. my LBV was too small to fit over it. So I resorted to carrying my mags in a bandoleer over my shoulder, just like you mentioned. It was ghetto, but it worked.
Sorry you had to rough it. Also sorry that it took a war to get the Army to update gear for soldiers. Thank you for your service to this great country. TR
@@TacticalRifleman OIF happened at a weird time. The Army was already starting to refit with new gear, but the priority was going to light infantry units. Being assigned to a heavy cavalry regiment, and being a medical section within said regiment, we were lower on the priority list for sexy gear. There just wasn't enough of it to go around at the time. This was also before the RFI was a thing. The Army got a lot better about equipping guys going downrange. No more hillbilly armor, no more guys having to ask mom and dad to send them stuff.
Kudo's for the pin trick, had an old Viet Nam era Corpsman teach me the same thing, as you usually only have one J-airway with you, but you can carry a card full of safety pins for a variety of uses.
Amazing, how something so simple can be so beneficial.
"you can safety pin the guys tongue to his lip so he doesn't pass out"
WAIT WUT
Love it! Brought back a lot of memories here brotha! Always remember, “PULL THE WHITE STRING ALL THE WAY OUT TILL ITS GONE”!
I have a bandolier like that from Vietnam and I use it to hold SKS clips, very effective.
Thats too cool Bro'. I was a weapons tech and issued a gazilion rounds to SOF, spent a ton of time on the gun range with them and never picked up on that little trick! Thanks for the Golden Nugget!

Another great video guys! Karl for a more compact and packable speed loader check out the striplula from maglula. It makes loading stripper clips MUCH easier like your piece but is small enough to throw in your pocket. The other nice thing with it is you can load rounds into it individually and use it like a stripper clip.
I’ll have to check it out. Thanks, TR
@@TacticalRifleman Yes, definitely get a StripLULA.
It's the best bit of kit I've seen in a long time. It's about a third the size of you Beta one with no separate parts to lose.
There are still a bunch videos on TH-cam about it.
Funny you say this. I was infantry and I had a secondary mos for ammo tech. I got bored one day out on the range and I accidentally figured this out. Changed my life. Good cheap alternative for holding magazines.
Excellent I always keep them but didn’t realize all the potentials of it
I did over 20 years in group and i never knew that trick with the string on the bandolier until now. We used to put 4 mags in those old canvas russian pouches with the strap- we called them a mag purse.
Off-color question, but is there any particular reason why you chose a muzzle brake for your SBR instead of a flash hider? I've always been under the impression that, especially for 5.56, brakes are more for range / gamer guns, and a flash hider is much more preferred for any self-defence or duty / military application ( especially if you're going to be shooting inside). Is this wrong?
Nonsense from military people who have not tried good brakes. Yes, they suck to stand next to. So did my SR-25 with a smooth crown. Best for combat is a short can. Second best is a brake with a shroud. Just my opinion. 26 years active and 10 years doing tactical training, but what do I know. Thanks for watching, TR.
Thank you for answering Ober's question. Follow up: What brake with a shroud do you like the best for 5.56 , then for 300 BO?
@@TacticalRifleman is the break in the video the lantac dragon?
@@TacticalRifleman I really appreciate the direct response. So you don't go with the notion that a lot of other supposed vets on TH-cam go with, that for real military use, reducing your flash signature is more important than a little bit of recoil mitigation? This always seemed like military orthodoxy to me, but I learn something new everyday.
The Shroud has to match the brake. Most manufacturers that make Suppressors also make shrouds. I run AAC Brakes and Flash hiders on my guns, so I have use my AAC Suppressors on them.
Many grunts in Vietnam after 1969 quit using mag pouches and solely used bandoliers. They’d either wear them normal, tie the around their waist or pin them perpendicular to their chest, which makes a nice 7 mag chest rig. The standard load for the 1st CAV Div. in 1970 was minimum of 340 rounds.
Thanks for sharing. Joe will always find a way to make kit better. TR
Watch the Vietnam War movie "Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan (2019)" to see a great scene with soldiers getting resupplied in combat. Great Australian war film based on a true story.
That's why I always ALWAYS carry scavenger perk to get enemies ammo 😎
So that's how this face metal shit thing these kids do nowadays got started.
In all seriousness we were told it was used to take up the slack in the webbing so they wouldn't flop around when wearing them.
Yep, that’s why the pins were included. We just found hundreds of other uses for them

"why do they have to waste all that cloth" -the guy who buys hundreds of extra magazines with tax money because he doesn't want to pick up used ones
It's not because they're used you fucktard. It's because if you're in a firefight chances could be it's easier dropping the the mag than trying to place it back in your kit.
I like this video a lot. A good combination of practical tips, technique, war story and history!
Tax dollars going to get extra mags for our military? No problem!
Tax dollars going to give to someone who has top of the line cell phone and name brand clothes “welfare”? Hell no
because cell phones totally dont get paid off in monthly payments of 20 bucks, and you totally have to spend the 1k upfront to get them these days, right? And because Marshall Fields, and other discount stores that sell name brand clothing at half the price totally dont exist right? Because people who need an extra 200 bucks a month to afford food have to walk around wearing thrift store, used, unbranded clothes, talking on flip phones, or else they dont qualify for SNAP benefits in your eyes?
Having actually been on welfare myself at one point in my life, I really do pity people like yourself. What if YOU need those services one day, and someone judges YOU by the standards you judge them now? I really hope for your sake, you wont ever know the feeling of swiping a SNAP card to get food, and having to listen to the remarks people like yourself make behind you in line, as they judge every item of food you buy, every piece of clothing you're wearing, etc. And I hope you dont have the balls to call yourself a Christian with that attitude towards those who do receive welfare
Sounds like money better spent to me. Give those men all the loaded mags they need!

Fun fact those speed loaders (as long as Winchester uses the same ones) work on P-mags, I didn't know that and couldn't find a solid answer elsewhere on the internet so I ran a very scientific and highly skilled experiment of buying some and trying it lol
Those 5.56 stripper clips also will hold a variety of pistol ammo like 9mm, .380, 9x18, 7.62x25 etc. It’s better than carrying loose ammo in a pocket, car, or backpack without the bulky box.

When he pulled that string, blew my effing mind 🤯
The Australian Army learnt the importance of speed loading from the Vietnam war. Before then we used to get ammo loose and when it was resupplied it would be in box form. In the battle of Long Tan where a company of Australian soldiers was fighting off hordes of NVA numbering in the thousands with only small arms and artillery to keep them at bay they needed a resupply via helicopter. The helicopters dropped off the ammo in box form and the soldiers had to crawl over to manually reload their magazines bullet by bullet using their thumbs. The enemy human wave charging and the diggers really learnt of the importance of loading quickly.
We have stuff similar to what was described but I think it is a little bit better in that it is one piece rather like a magazine in its own right and you just attach to the top of the magazine and push the rounds down into the magazine.
Ah yes. Reminds me when my dad taught me about this randomly, him having been in vietnam. I keep all of my m1 garand clips in bandoliers, easy to grab.
This some of the most valuable information , I have seen posted recently.
